SYBAss’ activities

SYBAss facilitates communication between its members, current and potential future superyacht owners and the wider industry. It supports members’ activities through cooperation with major event organisers and innovative concepts such as The Superyacht Life campaign.

Making events work

There are numerous yacht shows around the world, some of which are more successful and relevant than others. Leveraging on many years of experience, careful analysis of the market and the number of members wishing to attend, SYBAss currently supports and cooperates with only four leading shows around the world.

Maximising returns on members’ promotional investments and optimising their exposure, SYBAss has successfully arranged dedicated exhibition areas at the heart of these shows. Members are clustered in so-called Superyacht Avenue areas, surrounded by the beautiful vessels they have built. This ensures that clients know where they can find the leading yacht builders to get acquainted or to discuss and realise their ideas. SYBAss also provides additional services for members and their VIP guests, such as all-access tickets, dedicated lounges, a limousine service, a tender service, and exclusive evening events.

Monaco Yacht Show

Is the world’s premier superyacht show with no fewer than 120 superyachts on display. The show features superyachts up to 120 metres and with a yearly increasing average length which currently stands at 46.63 metres.

Nearly all SYBAss members exhibit their latest superyachts at this show. They can be found in the two main areas: the central T-jetty and at the Quai des États-Unis.

Dubai International Boat Show

Is the leading boat show in the Middle East, traditionally an important market for the superyacht industry. In cooperation with the organisers, SYBAss created the Superyacht Avenue area at this show, too; this includes elegant on-water chalets for exhibiting members surrounded by the yachts.

The heart of this area is the Superyacht Avenue lounge, which at the most recent show was kindly set up by Greenline Yacht Interior to exclusively serve members and their guests.

Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show

Is the largest on-water boat show in the world. In close cooperation with its organisers, SYBAss created the Superyacht Avenue here devoted exclusively to members’ endeavours to present themselves collectively at the heart of the show. Surrounded by their latest yachts on a floating pontoon, members offer current and potential superyacht owners a dedicated place to find the finest builders of superyachts. This space also accommodates an invitation-only evening event for distinguished guests. Throughout the show guests of members are transported in style by the dedicated VIP tender service between the Hilton Fort Lauderdale marina, offering valet parking, and Superyacht Avenue at the heart of the show.

Marine Equipment Trade Show (METS)

Is the most prominent business-to-business trade show in the yacht industry. While the abovementioned yacht shows bring together current and future superyacht owners with builders, the aim of this exhibition in Amsterdam is to allow builders to meet industry suppliers. The rapidly expanding Superyacht Pavilion is the primary area where equipment and parts for superyachts can be found. In cooperation with the organisers, SYBAss offers its members services like a dedicated meeting room with full catering

In 2013, SYBAss members initiated a unique collective campaign to promote the unrivalled lifestyle that their products offer to owners. The target group was ultra high net worth individuals who are capable of purchasing a superyacht but have yet to consider doing so.

This campaign was re-launched as a foundation in 2017, separate from SYBAss, and is now open to the entire superyacht industry to join. The Superyacht Life Foundation aims to improve the general perception of yachting and attract new audiences to ownership and charter.

Behind every superyacht lies a story. The Superyacht Life Foundation is on a mission to share these stories, offering a fresh take on the positive people, places and projects that surround the superyachting good life. This is superyachting that shares your values.
